JOE BIDEN/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Joe Biden is putting his own spin on President Donald Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign slogan…Biden, who has not been shy about his intention to criticize Trump from the outset of his campaign, ripped into the president’s handling of the country while in office…’Make America return to the essence of who we are, the dignity of the country, the dignity of people, treating our people with dignity,’ Biden said. ‘End this god-awful, deliberate division that’s being taken in order to — separating people to aggrandize his own power.’ Outlining his potential presidency, the former vice president stressed that unity would be one of three major prongs. ‘We can’t stay fractured like we are now,’ he said. Biden weighed in on the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, telling ‘Good Morning America’ there was “without any question Russian interference” in the 2016 election, and said he believed it was now up to Congress to determine whether or not Trump obstructed the special counsel’s probe.”
